Abstract:
This article presents the feasibility on application of TiO 2 photocatalysis in drinking water disinfection involving the removal of organic contaminants, inactivation of bacteria and virus. However, the efficacies of TiO 2 photocatalyst in killing of recalcitrant pathogenic protozoans such as Giardia lambia and Cyptosporidium or persistent algae need frurther investigation, and the photocatalytic approach lacks any residual disinfection capacity.
